Thread Name: ADD: Spotted Dick
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tune too...'Spotted Dick' anyone???
It's a cracking song. I learnt it from my uncle and it's now part of my main repertoire.

The verse about the vicar that "Vixen" wanted goes as follows:

The vicar of our local church, he has but one desire,
He likes to warm his roly-poly pudding by the fire,
He wraps it up in grease-proof, he jumps and shouts with glee,
And then he makes a pig of hisself and sings "Abide With Me".

The title of this thread also asks for the tune. I'm not so good at writing down tunes, either in "proper" music or tabs, but if you're still stuck a few days from now, I'll have a bash at doing it.
